HAHAHAHAHA…Ricky stuck it to you staters!!!! What a pathetic team with no heart and a pathetic program going nowhere. You have no guts to fire your coach or your AD.

If you wanted to see heart in action that USC/Stanford game was one for the ages. Both teams displayed heart. No one gave up. It’s a shame that one team had to lose. Your team will never play a big game like that because your coach doesn’t know how to motivate your players.

Back to being cellar dwellars. You lose all the rest of your games.

Lots of incisive comments. It is time for a change: at QB and in attitude. Just start over, now. And, let the AD deal with the results in the off season.

what’s scary about the final score is that we only needed something like 50 yards of total offense to score all of our 14 total points (both TDs off turnovers). The game was much worse than it looks on paper.

Where are the kool aid drinkers now? WHY ARE YOU NOT DEFENDING YOUR “QB GURU”???

Time for the crow-eating, my fair-weather friends. Come BoaltBlue, Bobby — isn’t enough enough?

Count another one for the Fire Tedford Camp. Picking up steam, but how much will the fans have to endure before Barbour does her job?

Just back down to San Diego from the Rose Bowl. This may be the worst game I’ve gone to in a decade, and I’ve been to some bad ones. UCLA was a program in shambles, with multiple players missing, and they made us look stupid and silly. We’re not going to a Bowl game for the 2nd year in a row. That will turn the tide on our recruiting which was the only thing we had going for us. The program will now be in a tailspin. We will soon be in as bad of shape as when Tedford took over. There are a number of issues like mental weakness and lack of a true culture of confidence, but our main issue has been the lack of an acceptible quarterback for about a decade now. That is just too hard to overcome each year. It is so sad to see all teh players we put into the NFL, showing that we had the talent, but failed to utilize it. Bad coaching and bad quarterbacks equals a bad program. Its time to clean house and find some way to have new excitement with our good young recruits before it is too late. What a shame. Embarrassing.

Stupid penalties. Again.
Missed field goal. Again.
Horrible field position. Again.

These three have been consistent all year. Add in horrible QB play, and you’ve got one heck of a disaster.

There are 2 differencs between this season, and holmoe, and most of the last 4 seasons with tedford. 1) the play calling is much better. They’re just not executing. And 2) Maynard is at least good sometimes.

That’s about it. Maynard continues to be an automatic 50% passer. He’ll look great for a couple plays, maybe even a drive. Then boom, a floater for a pick, or a fumble. That can’t happen. And neither can forcing a pass to allen on 3rd and long, in double coverage, every time.

Tedford clearly has no control over these kids, who continue to get flagged for personal fouls. The cheap shots are unacceptable. The missed tackles are unacceptable. But to me, the most unacceptable part of this game was not seeing a backup qb in there even once.

Maynard is a decent backup qb at this level. He has had more than enough of a chance to prove himself. Leaving him in there late in the 4th quarter, especially when a win was mathematically impossible, was unconscionable. I’m ashamed of our coach, for the qbs on the bench. They work their tails off for him. They deserve a chance to play.

After watching this, I don’t think I’m going to the Oregon State game.

Yup, it is time to make a clean break at QB. Let’s start anew, Cal. I had a feeling UCLA was going to trip up Cal. Big mental letdown by our players. Good teams do not have these problems, as there are so few games.

Also watched Stanford/USC on the telly: wow, does Stanford know how to finish. Luck is something to watch. Great game.

Let Sandy know:

Twitter: @gobearsAD

If Sandy is at basketball practice tomorrow, we should all tell her that it’s time to FIRE TEDFORD!

All of us who are season ticket holders pay for his salary. Enough is enough!
